More than the area of France in one week.
“Scientists have been all over the press corpse with stories of Arctic ice melt and doom,” says this article on stevegoddard.com, “while the actual Arctic has gained 750,000 km² of ice during the past week.”
“That is more new ice than the area of France.”

“So wheres the media cover of this?” asks Laurel. “yeah I know … doesn’t suit the agenda:-)”

Aw, come on now, you know that isn’t newsworthy! The only time it counts is when it is melting.
press corpse !!
Love it! I wish…..
Awesome! That cracked me up, if only huh?
It’s growing faster than after the minimums of 2007 and 2008, which I think indicates that the NP is colder now than then.
It’s the fastest rate of growth in the graph,

clearly confirming that the polar temperatures are not high and the ice was dispersed rather than melted last summer.
Let’s wait to see how the solar radiation evolve from now on, if we reach low levels like 2008-09 it could be the trigger we’re expecting here, I mean for a deeper cooling process to begin.
Note that after the maximums of the Antarctic sea-ice of 2007 and 2010 there were two strong La-Nina, indicating that the cold waters of the SP probably spread toward the tropical regions and surfaced at the equator.
A similar phenomenon seems to be happening now when the expected El Nino will probably not happen (the sst of the east Pacific are getting colder) and a new La Nina event may form, corresponding to the very high levels of ice in the Antarctica during this winter.
Chicago Tribune / WGN Ch. 9′s Tom Skilling(Meteorologist) has this to say today on the
Tribunes weather page:
“UPCOMING WINTER MAY BE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN LAST!
This winter’s trend forecast
Based on 21 ENSO-neutral* winters since 1950
TEMPERATURE
↓53% Slight odds favoring a colder-than-average winter.
SNOWFALL
↑67%
Stronger odds for a snowier-than-average winter.
*ENSO-neutral winter refers to December-February periods between El Nino and La Nina events.
Wondering if Florida snow history holds any clues toward a huge change in future climate,here’s some quick stats from last 100a. 1900 to 2000 there were 19 snow events. 2000 to now there have been 12 snow events and 7of the 12 snow days occurred in the LAST 2 WINTERS hmm if datas correct. Can’t get over the jan 19,1977 pic of a woman wearing a heavy winter parka scraping snow off her car in Miami Florida -12deg as well as Jacksonville first white xmas dec 23,1989. Satellite pics in another month of the arctic might show what kind of winter we will face for eastern north america.
What could be causing this except a cooling trend of our entire Planet?
I believe we’ll be crossing a “threshold” soon when this will become evident for everyone.
We must not forget that the sea-ice extent of the Arctic reached an above average level last May, surpassing the levels of 2010.
These strong oscillations are consistent with a transitory phase between the previous warming and the new cooling trends.
This “threshold” tipping point always shows up prior to steep drop in average world wide temps. The last 1000a we see the 3 or 4 low solar minimums causing hundreds of cooler years avg temps collectively. That is a frequent occurrence..sporer,dalton,maunder. Which name/ names are in the running now to take credit for predicting the next minimum which is occurring now?
“Landscheidt”!
How about a Robert Felix minimum?
